MSNBC Host Messes Up South Korean Troop Numbers [VIDEO]

Following Trump’s meeting with South Korean president Moon Jae-in, MSNBC host Ali Velshi mistakenly said that the U.S. has 100,000 troops in South Korea.

Velshi was explaining to viewers that Trump has a “tricky line” to talk with South Korea because, while the country is a major ally, Trump supporters may believe they pull too many manufacturing jobs from the United States.

“South Korea is a major ally, we have 100,000 troops there, it is a strategic ally, and we’re in a bit of a battle with them but we just signed a new weapons trade deal with them and a new gas deal with them,” he said.
